hello,
few names are wrong. And corrected as follows....
Kanavai - is not cuttlefish
Kanavai - is Squid (cuttlefish is similar)
Butter Fish is different its not Viraal
We can use Murrel to Viraal meen But the correct name for Viraal is - Snakehead(fish) there are hundreds of verities in Snakehead(Viraal meen). You can see some images in the following site.
www.snakeheads.org
in these "Argus" and "Panaw" are available in tamilnadu.
Salmon fish is not available in India. So there is no tamil or indian name found.
Salmon fish is available in Atlantic & Pacific Ocean and in Big Lakes (especially in British colombia, Australia & Alaska)
It is a sweet water fish
